Merciri, search for closest supermarket. - you see a simple wooden house, clay rooftop tiles, smoke billowing from the shimney. The glass windows hide the flickering light of candles. Above the mahogany door hangs a yellow fish with the words, the quick fish on it. As you enter the door a little bel rings"tringtring". "Ohh hellooo" you hear an old and rusty voice say from behind the counter....
Well tbh, at this point in time Nott had already revealed she used to be a halfling woman. I think it happened two episodes before this add. So not really forshadowing.
2:30 - I watched this several times and I've only just realised that Sam asks Merciri to name the "Most Handsome Male Cast Members with a beard that aren't Taliesin, Liam or SAM". If anything, Travis should get annoyed at Merciri's answer.
Sam: " could you please list the most handsome male cast-members with a beard, who are not Taliesin, Liam or Sam?" Merciri: "Wil Wheaton, Khary Payton..." Sam: "Fuck you!" Merciri: "... Marisha Ray" That was so hilarious that I didn't initially catch the slip-up of Sam saying his own name
"she doesn't even have a beard" Marisha shrugged in a "eh, that depends on how you look at it" way. Given that she plays at least one openly non-straight character (Beau) that's REALLY funny!!
My only problem wit hdnd beyond is that to get access to all the base books (phb,mm,gm's guide) you need to drop more than 100 bucks and any other content is even more
Tigger Anakalea what’s even worse about this is that it does not matter if you spent money on those books already, you basically need to drop money on digital versions
@@TheWayfinder1 Yeah, that's a bit of a shame. In a perfect world, each physical copy would have a code inside that you could input on dndbeyond to gain access to the digital version. But then again, I think you are legally allowed to print (but not distribute) anything you have the digital access to. So technically you can have both digital and physical copies for the price of one, but I'm not sure about the license agreement on that.
@@KubinWielki dndbeyond =/= WotC. Wizards makes profit from the physical copies and dndbeyond from the online stuff, they both have to make profit so you can't expect the online stuff if you have the physical stuff
Yea since DNDBeyond is a separate company or owned by a separate company than D&D, unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to do that. They're just able to license the use. I mean it would be nice if they gave a code in a book, but then they'd be having another company giving you their stuff for free because you paid someone else for it. Back in 3rd edition, they had a character creation cd. I always thought they would expand on it over time. Even then I thought they should have a code in any books you bought to download the additional character options (feats, etc) to the character creation program.
I would say he fed hours and hours of Matt talking on steam into a "siri voice mod" program.... except Matt didn't seem surprised by any of the lines like he did with the shirts and other nonsense Sam pulls. Based on his chill during this, I think he recorded the lines.
I actually have to think now is critical role script cause look at Laura she pulls out paper from under her book that looks like a script @0.28 mark in this video
It's semi-scripted. Certain character moments will be planned ahead of time with the DM, or with other players they concern. It's a great way to get the most out of your characters.
It's scripted inasmuch as any D&D game is. DM makes some content that he hopes the players walk into. The players are good people who want to have fun, so if they catch the signals and the incentives are right, they'll usually walk into said content. If the players have an important moment they want explored, they ask the DM about it and he tries to work it in within the next couple sessions if he can find a spot it makes sense. And then there are those times where the incentives aren't right. Or the players go rogue because they think of something the DM didn't. Or a few unexpected dice rolls lead to "oh god, how do we salvage this?" moments. It's just D&D with a really experienced DM who knows his friends - who are professional actors - really well. There's nothing surprising about how neatly their sessions run, but for god's sake don't expect yours to go as smoothly.
@@ErdTirdMans Yeah, I don’t know how people can believe that a 4 hour long session with only a single break in the middle could be scripted. I agree that for the sake of entertainment, there are probably certain things they plan ahead of time. All the conversations and such tho? Definitely not scripted
Matt's face when Merciri says Just Tweet at him 😂😂😂
The pain.. I mean, do you read the Sage Advise for the D&D team? I imagine the D&D questions from Critical Role Fanboys even more frustrating
What about the fangirls tho
@@self-insert5981 even worse
“Taliesin jaffe, he has 4000 years of knowledge” He didn’t deny it...
What did you not know he helped build the pyramids?
@@charlessandison5740 No dude, he didn't help build the pyramids, he IS one, remember?
Oh man Travis's joy of being called the best dnd player of critical role is truly one of my favourite moments
Merciri, search for closest supermarket.

I totally read that in Merciri's voice
Is it Bob?
i see “simple wooden house” I cast fireball🤣
I offer the old person behind the counter a cupcake.
I kind of want to see a Sam-azon Home and a Merciri arguing with each other
Genius.
OK, the fact that Sam helped Matt flirt with Marisha as part of the bit, is great.
When did they marry?
@@niccolofiorelli4725 Matt and Marisha married in October 2017, over a year before this.
@@niccolofiorelli4725 in think in 16? or something
@@niccolofiorelli4725 week or few after finale of Campaiqn 1 (end of 2017)
Sam is the best of wingmen
To be fair to merciri, he did say besides Talisan, Liam or SAM. lol.
thats why Sam wasnt the most intelligent member..
MERCIRI CAN READ THE FUTURE..
Merciri was defective, it didn't metion travis
realiseing that the entry on halflings was FORSHADOWING
Well tbh, at this point in time Nott had already revealed she used to be a halfling woman. I think it happened two episodes before this add. So not really forshadowing.
Also the goblin part..
Merceri, what do you think of Sam's puns and... t-shirts?
Merciri: *TRIPLE DISADVANTAGE FOR THE NIGHT*
I thought Matt himself was voicing Merciri live, but it turns out Sam actually made a self roasting machine
0:47 "Oh that's why he wanted those lines..."
3:35 I've never seen such palpable regret.
Honestly, I can believe Taliesin is 4000 years old. How else are you so eccentric and wise?
You've got to love how Sam did this bit and gave compliments to the other cast members.👏
Self-deprecation: The most common form of comedy!
“Maxwell James”
That killed me 🤣
megavore97
Who was that again?
TheTop HatNerd He’s one of the crew members, there was a bit where he took Sam’s place
2:30 - I watched this several times and I've only just realised that Sam asks Merciri to name the "Most Handsome Male Cast Members with a beard that aren't Taliesin, Liam or SAM". If anything, Travis should get annoyed at Merciri's answer.
Would not surprise me if that was accidentally on purpose
matt mercer looks like he's in so much pain for this entire thing, i can't stop laughing
Merciri, what time is it? High noon?
(Merciri) Fuck you.
flyingozzy
*Merciri:* You take 3D12 damage.
@@halocrafter300 Merciri:Rolling now... 12... 12... 12...
You take 36 damage.
So used to Sam being Donetello where he has a little sanity as a turtle...and then I see him in real life and find out he's freaking insane.
Its tells much about a person when they makes more sense as a turtle
I still can't tell if Marisha asking for a d20 was a part of the script or not. And if not... Merciri really works?
i think it was either preplanned or someone on the crew was typing the answers into a text to speech.
“Merciri, tell me about the halfling race”. 😱😱
AthenaEnoshima oh my god, I didn’t even notice the foreshadowing
Wait, what does it foreshadow?
@@DanateDMC Nott's backstory.
actually, it doesn't foreshadow anything - Notts backstory came out the episode before this.
@@Luscitrys Ah, cheers. You're totally right.
R.I.P. Matt's twitter feed. :-P
"and the virtual boy"...I knew it was a malicious act, creating that monstrosity
Matt is so embarrassed he got talked into this
He sounds so similar to the Pokedex voice.
Sam: "
could you please list the most handsome male cast-members with a beard, who are not Taliesin, Liam or Sam?"
Merciri: "Wil Wheaton, Khary Payton..."
Sam: "Fuck you!"
Merciri: "... Marisha Ray"
That was so hilarious that I didn't initially catch the slip-up of Sam saying his own name
Full disclosure: I only watch the show for Sam's ads
There's a show?!
Since when Is there a show?
Marisha's beard is Matt.
I get it! Particularly the way she flirts in-character with the other female cast members and guests.
When Sam said she doesn't even have a beard Liam was looking like where is he going with this. Lmao
"she doesn't even have a beard"
Marisha shrugged in a "eh, that depends on how you look at it" way. Given that she plays at least one openly non-straight character (Beau) that's REALLY funny!!
Didn't know they could compliment each other without 3 hours of dystopian horror oneshots
Somehow, Travis being the best player on CR was exactly the answer I was looking for
I would absolutely buy this
I never noticed it, but he said, "with a beard, who are not Taliesen, Liam or *Sam*" (prob meant Travis)
D&D beyond: yes, we accept your apologies
Travis is the best though 😉
Ngl, when he said Travis Willingham is the best player, I just like nodded in agreement.
Imagine taking Merciri out of your bag as a response for not having dices on a session
I’ll buy one! ...or maybe three... Five! That should be enough, right?
better get one more for the neighbor, just in case..
I need one
This is awsome!!

Ok actually this was fuckin awesome.
I need to buy this!
THE HALFLING COMMENT OMG
Ow, it hurts to laugh
I’m buying this
I'd pay for that.
I want one
So when are they for Sale
Taliesin at 1:38 :D
This doesn’t feel like it was a year ago...
Anyone know where I can get some green dice like Sam’s ?
jevan king possibly norsefoundry? I know these guys drop money on dice. So possibly gemstone?
Somehow Merciri sounds like Dynios to me
Ngl I would totally buy this 😂
Reminds me of a pokedex
Is no one talking about how Sam admitted to inventing the virtual boy?
Yep that's a way me look🤣
Did Matt record voice line? How do?
Sam probably stole some bits from previous episodes and spliced them together
@@SpectralKnight probably? definitely.. Sam probably has the entire cast spliced in ways that only they will hear..
I would say he fed hours and hours of Matt talking on steam into a "siri voice mod" program.... except Matt didn't seem surprised by any of the lines like he did with the shirts and other nonsense Sam pulls. Based on his chill during this, I think he recorded the lines.
Did Matthew actually give his voice for the Merciri?
Wait wait wait. Are you all telling me that Ashley Johnson is nit the fanfavorite? Or was that just pike?
Where do I buy one of these?
What is that voice from!? I know it's Matt but he used the same voice in some other game or tv show and I can't for the life of me place it.
So... Merciri is basically a pokedex for DnD? Lmao
Where do I buy one

Could be notes for a merch announcement. Their ads are scripted.
Yeah, it's scripted. You know, the ad segment that Sam clearly wrote? That is scripted.
